We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 4/16 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Robin Farmanfarmaian (@robinff3) on the topic “Digital Therapeutics – DTx.”
The Digital Therapeutics Alliance defines DTx as products that “deliver evidence-based therapeutic interventions to patients that are driven by high quality software programs to prevent, manage, or treat a medical disorder or disease.”
Digital Therapeutics are not usually a stand-alone treatment. They are tools available by prescription only, and usually are used in conjunction with medication, therapy, coaching, sensor monitoring, and/or a healthcare provider.
Join us for this week’s #HITsm chat where we’ll discuss the following questions.
Topics for this week’s #HITsm Chat:
T1: Would you be open to using or prescribing a digital therapeutic for your patients, yourself or your family? #HITsm
T2: What are some of the top DTx (digital therapeutics) that have cleared the FDA already? What are some that are potentially close to FDA clearance? #HITsm
T3: What are some of the top medical conditions that could benefit from Digital Therapeutics and why? #HITsm
T4: Do you think Digital Therapeutics will be reimbursed by payers? When? #HITsm
T5: Will DTx ever become part of mainstream healthcare the way pharmaceuticals are currently mainstream? #HITsm
Bonus: What are some of the top wearables or point of care diagnostics that can be used with DTx? #HITsm
